Good. The only way this is going to change is if customers stop coming to places that demand a tip when an employee looks up from their phone.
Leaving a tip for decent table service is a given, but the absurdity of being asked to tip if someone literally does nothing more than presses a button on a register is a great way to lose customers permanently. We used to be regulars of a couple of small fast food places that started with this bullshit. Haven’t been back since.

Leaving a tip for decent table service outside of North America isn’t a given though. On a global scale this is a regional cultural peculiarity.
